Pruning the Family Tree(2013)

There's a fine line between burying the past and digging a grave.

Pruning the Family Tree is a dark comedy about four women who must reckon with the chaos their abusive, unfaithful father leaves behind after his sudden death. Estranged and emotionally fractured, they navigate the practical and psychological fallout of his legacy while attempting to lay him to rest—literally and figuratively. The film balances sharp wit with genuine pain as the sisters confront decades of family dysfunction, unresolved resentments, and the question of what they actually owe to a man who caused them so much harm. Their journey toward closure becomes both a reckoning and, unexpectedly, a path toward understanding one another.
